Why don't people talk about inFAMOUS much anymore? The game definitely had its problems but man this game is cool and one of the defining open-world action games for the PS3.

Zipping around the city as Cole and blasting foes with electricity played excellently and it I liked all of the different abilities you unlock throughout the story. There is of course the decision to play the good or evil path which affects what you can do and encourages two play-throughs.

I really liked the story of inFAMOUS too which takes some massive swings that mostly pay off. I really didn't see the twist coming and while the story feels a little overconvoluted at times it maintained my interest to the credits and blew me away with the twist.

Now the gameplay did have some issues particularly with the traversal which could've been polished up but overall this was a good time. Sidenote- I played this as my free "apology game" after the PSN hack which took down the servers for like a month. Who remembers that?

I was literally just telling my wife today about the PSN hack, and that this was my free game as well. I told her “and it wasn’t a bad game either, it was actually kind sick”
